Nationally, approximately 88% of construction is performed by Open Shop workers while 12% is performed by Union workers. In Pennsylvania, about 80% of projects are Open Shop and 20% are Union. There is a long history of union intimidation & violence Nationally and in our Philadelphia Market against Open Shop Construction firms, Employees & The Owners using them. Our firm & our competitors - and even more so our subcontractors - have experienced a wide variety of Innuendoes, harassment, Threats, destruction of property & violence.
Through the years, our employees have been followed home, tacks put on their driveways, tires slashed, and had verbal abuse directed at them, their wives and families. We had a bank under construction with the concreted forms blown out by explosives with powder bums and neighbors' glass shattered. The police wrote it up as natural causes. Years ago on an industrial building in Willow Grove, PA, I was shot at to intimidate us into using Union subcontractors. Early on the morning of Friday, December 21st last year, Someone in a pouring rain storm set fire to the crane erecting the Structural Steel on site of a new Quaker Meeting we are constructing in the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia. Also in about 12 locations they cut thru w/ an acetylene torch the Steel Columns holding up the building, burned anchor bolts & loosened others. (I do wish to note, the police have exhibited a positive responsiveness in pursuing the case.)
